Back in the day I doubt many people did 30mph+ on a bike. Carbon bikes are seriously quickAdmittedly down a fking great hill and I was *much* fitter then but someone on a normal "racer" would have breezed past me.

Exactly this...Admittedly down a fking great hill and I was *much* fitter then but someone on a normal "racer" would have breezed past me.
That's but a minor scrape.

You don't need a carbon bike, just a gentle hill will do....I got a telling off back when the world was young, for overtaking a panda car going down West Bromwich High street on my 5-speed racer
"Do you know how fast you were going, sunshine?"
"No, officer, my bike doesn't have a speedo!"
"Mutter, mutter, don't do it again..."
My dad and I were in the Mondeo. Articulated lorry wasn't paying attention, ended up on our side of the road (suspected mobile phone use, but was only ever done for driving without due care).
Skimmed a skip lorry and then hit us head on. Closing speed of about 60mph between us. The only major injury was a broken foot for the lorry driver. My dad and I got bad whiplash, cuts and so forth but we're very lucky.
Only letting me upload one photo, but will upload another in a reply to this.
This was my son's first big one. He was driving on the grass and got distracted by me doing some strimming the other side of the fence. Hit the fence post doing at least 5 mph and headbutted the windscreen frame. I decided not to call an ambulance and just kissed it better instead. Didn't tell the insurance company either, fortunately it wasn't a write off...phew!
But he always has driven like a bit of a loony...toddlers eh?
